Reuters Market Eye - Rupee trades stronger at 54.10/11 versus its Wednesday's close of 54.21/22 as slight falls in the global crude oil and gold prices continue to keep up hopes of a rate cut by the RBI in early May.
The pair is seen holding in a 53.90 to 54.26 range during the session, traders say.
The fall in global crude and gold prices will reduce pressure on the country's record current account deficit, which has been a key factor weighing on the rupee, and provide more room to the central bank to lower rates.
Most Asian currencies also trading weaker compared with the dollar.
